Light-heats flow over one
another; and there are -- no comprehensible sounds
(the sonants and explosives have not yet
condensed); in my own flamy mouth are all sorts of
thunder-horned self-generates; I retired into my
own mouth: to look at the universe of speech; and
if I could look at the formation of the mainlands
and seas of that life, the formation of the
grasses, fishes, all reptiles and birds of the
tongue; if I were to arise in myself (inside of my
mouth), I would be born for a second time, I would
have named all things.

Parodying my own self, I will
say: --
|
|
-- Consciousness, as it embraces
my very own sound, survives as long as this sound
is in the Impenetrable unboundedness; none the
less, a sound, penetrated by consciousness, puffs
up in growth; my mortal thought did not enter into
the body of sound; and -- in the place of sound I
sense the collapse of being conscious; if
--
|
|
-- I would be able to enter into
the sound, to enter into the mouth and turn my eyes
in upon myself, standing in the center, inside the
temple of the lips, then I would not have seen the
tongue, the teeth, the gums and the murky vault of
the damp and hot palate:
I would have seen the sky;
I would have seen the sun; the cosmic temple would
have arisen, thundering in gleams --
|
|
-- and therefore everything that
surrounds me with space and lights speaks to me
sonorously: it is known to me via
sound.
